Members of the city government’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force want Manhattan city commissioners to consider health in every policy decision they make. During the task force’s fourth meeting, which took place in person at the K-State Student Union, members broke into subcommittee groups: public safety, livability, economic opportunity, health and wellness, and individual and family support. Each group Thursday identified issues it wants to focus on. About 20 members attended the first in-person meeting of the task force. Jurdene Coleman, who represents Pawnee Mental Health on the task force, spoke on behalf of the health and wellness subcommittee with recommendations. Each group presented to the committee as a whole after brainstorming for an hour.
